Got a call on my landline, which is on the TPS list, from a number I didn’t recognise. It just rang through to my answerphone & then nothing – no message or anything left. Really odd!

Got a call from +44 20 3769 7089, no message was left on my voicemail. Seems like one of those annoying spam cold calls, so I went ahead and blocked the number straight away.

I got a call from this number and they started talking about some guy just caught, saying my info had come up linked to him or something. At first I was kinda curious but then it all felt a bit dodgy, so I just stopped paying attention and went ahead to block the number.

Got a call from someone claiming to be Crypto.com, but I don't even own any cryptocurrency. Definitely feels like a scam to me.

No message left, classic sign of a scammer!

Two numbers rang me last week, one on Tuesday 20th Oct (+44 141 536 0781) and another the next day, Wednesday 21st Oct (+44 141 536 0760), both around tea time, about 5.30 pm. The caller asked if I was Williams' contact, and when I said no, they quickly said they were trying to reach the owner of my phone number! I could hear loads of voices in the background, like a big call centre, and the woman’s accent sounded like it might be from Pakistan or India. I didn’t hang about – ended the call immediately and blocked the first number. Didn’t even bother picking up the next evening’s call, just blocked that one straight away as well.

They just keep ringing non-stop, trying to get me to sign up for loft insulation. Really annoying how persistent they are!

Got a ring from this number but didn’t pick up since it looked unfamiliar to me.

Got a call about some government energy offer. I said I wasn’t interested and mentioned he was on the TPS list. Then he started to argue, so I just hung up. Moments later, he rang again from a different number and swore at me. Watch out, this bloke’s a right dodgy scammer.

They called offering medical help but wanted money for it. I just ended the call.

Got a call on my landline on the morning of 19th Oct, about half past ten. The person said they were my Energy Adviser. I just replied, "Get lost, scammer." Didn’t bother with anything else. Total SCAM.

Honestly, ringing back numbers you don’t know is just silly. Most of the time, scammers use random, fake numbers made by computers, so if you do call back, you’ll probably just get an automated message saying the number isn’t available. Occasionally, the number might belong to someone innocent, which could upset them. Plus, your number might get reported as spam by texting 7726 – definitely worth checking that out! Sometimes when you call back, it goes through a system that forwards you to an expensive overseas number. This can also mark your number as an easy target for more scams down the road.

A lady called and straight away started asking me if I'd had cavity wall insulation done. I asked who was calling first but she just ignored me and kept going on about it, so I just ended the call.

Like most scam calls, they never bother to leave a voicemail.

The call came up as potential spam so I blocked it right away once I saw that label.

Got a call from someone who said he was Harry, claiming to be from housing repairs. When I asked which company he was with, he just kept saying "housing repair" again and again. I mentioned we had a leak problem, and he said he’d put me through to their partner. Felt a bit dodgy if you ask me...

I didn’t actually answer because I have a call blocker on this line, so no clue who was ringing. Looks like they’re probably phoning lots of folks. The number’s got an Edinburgh area code but that could be fake. I’d guess it’s just a cold call or some sort of scam.

This number has rung me thrice in just a couple of days, and every time it's a different voice on the line. One sounded like someone from the local energy company, but the other two were impossible to understand.

Had a call from a “Jessica” saying she was from the housing department, asking about issues I supposedly reported. Total scam, watch out! 😡

They kept ringing over and over and would just cut off whenever I picked up.

Got a call from some car finance firm, they wanted loads of my personal info. Bit dodgy if you ask me.

This call is only relevant if you have a NatWest account, otherwise just ignore it. If you do bank there, make sure you confirm everything using NatWest’s official contact number.

Was offered some payout for solar panels but the person spoke so quickly I could barely follow what they were saying.

My landline didn't ring at all, and they didn't leave any message either.
